Pyeongtaek Anjung Terminal-Jije Station-Pyeongtaek Station Seated Express Bus Service Launches on the 23rd

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Seated express bus Route 8000, which operates between Pyeongtaek's Anjung Terminal and Pyeongtaek Station, will begin service on the 23rd.

The route will operate as an express-type service using seated buses rather than standard buses, stopping only at select stations with high demand: Anjung Terminal, Anjung Intersection, Oseong-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, Taepyeong Apartment, Jije Station, and Pyeongtaek Station.

On weekdays, the service will operate 50 times daily with a 20-minute frequency interval. With the introduction of the express bus, travel time between Anjung, Jije Station, and Pyeongtaek Station is expected to be reduced from the existing 70 minutes to 40 minutes, cutting approximately 30 minutes from the journey.

An official from Pyeongtaek City stated, "We expect the new route will improve public transit mobility along the east-west corridor," and added, "We will continue to examine ridership demand and work to gradually introduce and expand new routes so that citizens can use buses conveniently."
